Debate: Selling Human Organs
Connor & Jake- “Affirmative”
Statement: This house would legalize the sale of human organs.
Opening Statements:
Human organs have become a necessity in the world today. According to the United States Department of Health & Human Services 18 people die each day from a lack of an organ donor. “The Organ Crisis” if you think about it, is simply a supply and demand issue there is a demand for organs, but no supply to fill it. Closer to home 1600 Canadians are added to organ waiting lists every year. In all the studies, facts, and publications, the words “waiting list” are in almost everyone, so why haven’t they been abolished yet? It’s a simple matter, not enough people posthumously donate organs because there is not a large enough of a reimbursement for the families of those whom donate. Simply the reward does not outweigh the cost. Is there a way to eliminate the list? There is, however it is not a way that everyone wants to except, it is the sale of human organs. The sale of organs presently is illegal, it is being conducted by sketchy doctors in back alleys. The likelihood of survival after a back alley procedure are slim, and those who survive for a long period of time after the operation are more likely to suffer emotional and almost unbearable pain. The sale of human organs is currently active and thriving, so why not legalize it and control it so that people are safe and the government can make money off the business. The sale of human organs, if regulated, would eliminate the need for a waiting list, people could by the organs that they need, and the government could make a profit on the sale. Think about it, thousands and thousands of lives would and could be saved, people will live longer and happier lives and the government could make a profit.

Closing Statements:

Selling human organs is a great business and investment opportunity, and if the government regulates the sale than there is a lot of money to be made. Speaking from a more emotional point of view, if the sale of organs is necessary to save lives faster and ensure that those in need receive the proper life necessities.
